    True.

    Dielectric is a material with a low electrical conductivity (σ << 1); that is, an insulator, which has the property of forming electric dipoles inside it under the action of an electric field. Thus, all dielectric materials are insulators but not all insulating materials are dielectric.

    Some examples of this type of materials are glass, ceramics, rubber, mica, wax, paper, dry wood, porcelain, some fats for industrial and electronic use and bakelite. As for the gases, the air, nitrogen and sulfur hexafluoride are used as dielectrics.
